    Before Abraham moved up to 168 for the Super Six tournament, everyone wanted to see Abraham vs. Pavlik for 160 supremacy, Instead, Pavlik was dethroned by Martinez.
    What if Abraham stuck around longer and faced Martinez? Who would you pick?

    Martinez has the edge in skills and speed. The wise choice would be to say Martinez, but Abraham always has the puncher chance. So Martinez by decisions or Abraham by KO.

    Martinez. Abraham takes way too long to get going imo, and Martinez would edge an UD before he got started.

    Martinez will pop and move and his movement and speed will be far too much. UD

    Right about now, I think Abraham is unable to make the weight and maintain his health, so Martinez by decision.

    A catchweight scenario or possibly a time machine for Arthur leads me to believe he stops Martinez.

    This is hard too call. I would lean AA, though. He is a little too strong.

    I can't imagine Abraham beating a fighter who is faster, more mobile, and has better coordination than Dirrell.

    AA wins hands down. AAis a sharper puncher with better ring savy and better stamina . AA wins by late KO when Sergio tires from running.

    Martinez would be a nightmare for AA. You saw what Dirrells speed and movement did to him, Martinez could do the same.

    I agree with you. On the other hand Dirrell punches actually with more power and thus was able to stop AA in his tracks and keep him out of his comfort zone. AA learned some respect for Dirrell´s power. Would he respect Martinez´s power?
    I´m leaning towards a ud for Martinez, too.
